Abstract
According to the present invention, a three-dimensional measuring instrument includes a spindle that moves an object to be controlled in a predetermined axis direction; and a controlling device that controls a position of the object to be controlled by controlling a position of the spindle. The three-dimensional measuring instrument further includes an absolute-type linear encoder that outputs an absolute position of the spindle. With this, it is possible to start measurement by the three-dimensional measuring instrument in a short period of time.
